For decades, theorists proved that bumblebees couldn't fly and were greatly irritated to see them continue to fly anyway, using different equations. The same is true for electric fixed-wing aircraft. They were supposed to be impossible, but there are already over a hundred of them, with around 1,000 orders. They're small, so they don't even need a new principle of flight. They're simply copying Tesla's approach with cars.

Ingeteam and BYD have tested and certified in their respective R&D laboratories the compatibility of BYD's Battery-Box Premium HVS and HVM high-voltage batteries with Ingeteam's INGECON® SUN STORAGE 1Play TL M hybrid inverter (photovoltaic + batteries).
The combined use of both devices allows for the creation of hybrid systems that combine photovoltaic generation and energy storage, without the need for additional photovoltaic inverters. Furthermore, the Ingeteam hybrid inverter, in combination with BYD batteries, enables operation in off-grid mode, backup (UPS) mode, and self-consumption mode. Thus, in grid-connected installations, it becomes possible to store the solar energy generated during the day for consumption at night, achieving the highest possible self-consumption rates without the risk of power outages during grid failures, thanks to the backup (UPS) mode capability.
BYD's high-voltage lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, with capacities ranging from 5.1 kWh to 22.1 kWh (depending on the model), are designed for residential and commercial use. Their patented modular connection design allows different battery modules to be connected without wiring, greatly simplifying and speeding up installation. Specifically, the BYD battery models compatible with the Ingeteam hybrid inverter are: HVS (5.1, 7.7, and 10.2 kWh) and HVM (8.3, 11.0, 13.8, 16.6, 19.3, and 22.1 kWh).
The Ingeteam inverter allows you to connect both a battery bank and two photovoltaic arrays to a single unit, reducing the overall system cost. It features two photovoltaic inputs, each with its own Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system, enabling it to manage up to 11.5 kW of solar panel power that can be installed on a roof with two orientations. This single-phase inverter, available in 3 or 6 kW versions, is transformerless and designed for residential and commercial installations. Furthermore, this inverter comes standard with the EMS control system, allowing for advanced functionalities without the need for any additional control devices.
Hybrid system monitoring is carried out easily and intuitively thanks to the software developed by Ingeteam: INGECON® SUN Monitor, which allows access to all the data of the photovoltaic installation, batteries, etc., so that the user has total control over their electricity consumption.
